However, the Spurs boss believes the departure of Bale, 24, represents an opportunity for his squad players to make an impact on the first team.

Whenever a team is missing an important player it is a chance for other players to step up their game.

In the end, there will always be an opportunity for other people to shine. Other players are taking on that responsibility. A player like Andros is an example but others can follow in the same footsteps.

Moyes, who spent 11 years with the Merseysiders before replacing Sir Alex Ferguson this summer, has already seen a £28 million bid for the pair dismissed out of hand by Everton. Still, he claims he would have let both players move on if he was still manager at Goodison, reports Ladyman.

As a comparison to the situation, the Mail article highlights Moyes' view of Manchester City's late bid to sign Joleon Lescott in 2009 when the Scot was Everton manager.

Meanwhile, Moyes has also been linked with a move for Real Madrid midfielder MesutOzil, according to Jeremy Cross of the Daily Star.

United will launch a £30 million bid for the 24-year-old Germany international after missing out on Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas this summer, claims Cross.

Arsenal manager ArseneWenger has hinted that summer target Luis Suarez still holds the key to his summer spending plans even if the Uruguay striker does not come to the Emirates Stadium, reports John Cross of the Daily Mirror.

Like the chain involved in buying a house, there is a domino effect in football with clubs only willing to sell if a replacement can be found.

The Gunners are hoping to add Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema to their ranks before the transfer window closes on Sept. 2, says Cross, but Wenger admits the Bernabeu club will want a replacement before they do business.

That's part of the fact you need three agreements for anybody. It's true that it is sometimes connected with other clubs. But we have to accept that.

We have our targets, we will try to achieve that and I am confident we will get there. We will not go into the new season with only the number of players we have.

Cross claims Liverpool forward Suarez is a target for Real, but Arsenal could turn to Diego Costa if they miss out on Benzema despite the striker recently signing a new deal with Atletico Madrid.

Arsenal are also looking at Espanyol goalkeeper KikoCasilla if they cannot land Vicente Guaita from Valencia, according to the report.

Meanwhile, Tottenham believe Chelsea gazumped their move for Willian because Jose Mourinho feared the White Hart Lane club were becoming title contenders with their summer spending spree, report Darren Lewis and Neil McLeman of the Daily Mirror.

The Blues are expected to sign the Anzhi Makhachkala and Brazil winger for £30 million after the player had a medical with Tottenham.
